Email hacked, password reset and security details ...
Hi All, just need some advice really.
My primary email was hacked last week, and my password changed. I have taken all measures to try and regain control but have been unsuccesful. I have spoken to four different people today on the phone. First of all i was moved to a different department twice, thn I was told I had to speak with the security department as the security questions had the wrong answers! When I eventually got through,and after 30 minutes of being on the phone, I was told that I cannot be helped. I explained 5 times what the issue was and that I had been referred to this department becuas eof security question isssues, but that was not registered!!!
i was then told to use the forgotten password option! As I had already said three times, I had tried this, but the answers had been changed! Thats why I was on the phone to sort this out. I was then told that my answers had been reste and to wait a little while. Five hours later I have come back to try and sort this out and I STIILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE! I don't know what to do now, as the first time round took over an hour to try and get somewhere!!!!
Can someone please refer me to someone who is actually going to LISTEN and help, rather than telling me that 'I can't help you madam'
i am sorry to see that someone else is having this sort of problem
the security and customer help in India cannot be trusted,
they actually allowed somebody to have access to my e-mail and account details
then despite my objections allowed someone to stop my phone calls and
send them to a mycander mobile phone (ending238)
then all sorts of pain followed.
THE ONLY SOLUTIONS IS TO WRITE TO THE DIRECTORS OF BT AND SEEK HELP FROM THE CHAIRMANS
SUPPORT TEAM. TRY SUE HALPIN. I THREATENED LEGAL ACTION AND WOULD/MAY CARRY OUT THAT THREAT.
even she was confused and disturbed by the trouble she had getting things put right, is it to simple,
get a new primary e-mail and anew logon to bt.com (your account)
change your passwords and security questions, do not use the same for both
all that fus about including a number or a capital is rubbish but you are t a degree stuck wth a number
use something like 25sausagecaravanaxe. at least 14 letters no linking of the words like carrotsaladwatercress1
just pure rubbish
if you want the names and personal postboxes of the directors at newgate st london let me know
i have had 2 months of pure pain and distress, keep in mind when speeking to some call centres
you cannot educate pork, never give them admin rights and remote access.
or beleive the latest from India its all caused by Iphones and Ipads
best of

hi, I don't remember the answers for my security questions and I don't have "send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers" when I select "Password and security" on my apple ID. What should I do?
Hi Roy,
Contact iTunes support:
https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action
Select your country, complete the prompts.
Or you can contact them by email:
https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
They usually will get back to you via your regular email within 24 hours.
Cheers,

i forgot my security questions and i can't find ( send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers. ) i might not set up a rescue mail now i can't make any purchases
You need to contact Apple. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team.

why my Alternate Email Addresses does work on my send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.?
Because an alternate email isn't the same as a rescue email. If you can't get an email sent to your rescue email address or don't have one, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I forgot my security questions answers... How can I reset them? I cannot see "send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers"
Call AppleCare & ask to talk to "Account security".

Can I use my existing E-mail address to retrieve my password reset through security questions
Can I use my existing E-mail address to retrieve my password reset through security questions instead of through E-mail. When I try retrieving my new Apple password through reset through security questions? On the Apple id, it will not allow me to do so becasue I forgot my security answers to the question. I'm naming one or two of the wrong vechiles which is what the questions ask me for for security questions.
For icloud do you reccommend that I keep that same E-mail address or create a new one for my iCloud mail aside from my G-mail address name?
I asked support community for the very first time to reset my security questions and it wanted me to create a new user name for iCloud when I already have *****l for my original Apple id.
<Email Edited By Host>TheresaEW,
I’d recommend contacting Apple directly to resolve your security question issue. -

I don't know where you originally posted this question, but it's only just appeared in the Using iPad forum.
If you can't remember your password then you can reset it via http://iforgot.apple.com
If you can't get it reset via that site then you will have to contact Support in your country, they should be able to reset it for you (they can also reset your security questions if you've forgotten their answers).
Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support
If your country isn't on that page then try this form to contact Support : https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html -
I want the same Apple ID if I find myself answering,security my Apple id.
please send my email,security questions
thanks.
<Email Edited by Host>We are fellow users here on these public forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support - I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info).
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use -
Password reset and email doesn't send email.
I want to reset my password, so I clicked on reset password and email, and have not received an email. Now I have no idea what my password is. It's really tough to get to this page.
I've had this problem for several weeks, now running FF 6.0.2, although I doubt the FF version has anything to do with the problem. I sent the following e-mail to [email protected] on 9/20, and have so far received no reply:
============
I've been having login problems on Mozilla sites lately, apparently
because I can't remember my username. Since I can't remember my
username, I can't request a password reset.
I've tried the usernames in Firefox's Saved Passwords file, but of
course they don't work. I can't reregister because my email address is
"already in use", undoubtedly by me. One of the Firefox sites eventually
gets to where they claim to send me account information, but that never
shows up, either in my Thunderbird client, or in Verizon's files --
either mail or junk. I've tried this many times with the same result,
Is there any way to simply delete my e-mail account from all of
Mozilla's websites, forums, etc., and let me start over?
===============
I've established a new account using a new e-mail address, so I can start using the forums again, but I would like to get back to using my "real" e-mail if possible.
Interestingly, when I post anonymously and am asked for an e-mail to confirm my subscription to a forum, I use my "real" e-mail, and receive the confirmation request from [email protected] OK. It's just the password-reset e-mails that aren't working. -
I dont receive password reset and my security questions are wrong
My account was locked for 'security reasons'. My security questions are always wrong and i have a feeling my alternative email address is one that no longer exists.
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

I have Verizon Email on my phone, ipad, web-based (yahoo/verizon.net) and outlook iook.com. At one time all were working but I think I reset a password and then only a few worked. I have tried new password on all, changed back to the old password on others and didn't touch settings on ipad but can't seem to get them all working again. I would like to start fresh with a password reset so I can set up accounts on all devices again and try to remedy this frustrating issue. I have most recently reset the password again to try setting up my Email on my phone only to receive a password authentication error. I have set up before with success so I know I am setting up correctly and just a very frustrating password issue. I am also OK with deleting my primary Email account and setting it up again within the account if I have to. I just want this fixed so that I have my personal Email on all of my devices working properly and without frustration!
try doing one computer at a time. don't rush it. have you checked all the settings are correct in outlook.
I know Verizon recently changed settings for their mail servers.
incoming should be - pop.verizon.net port 995
outgoing should be - smtp.verizon.net port 465 SSL enabled.
http://www.verizon.com/Support/Residential/Internet/highspeed/email/setup+and+use/questionsone/86782...
The following are the settings for setting up and configuring your email, remote access, and FTP access for your home page address.
User name settings
Your Verizon Online user name
Your Verizon Online password
High Speed Internet (DSL) settings
Domain: dsl.verizon.net
Network protocol used: TCP/IP
Mail server settings
Incoming mail server (POP3): pop.verizon.net
Incoming Server Port Numbers: 995
Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.verizon.net
Outgoing Server Port Numbers: 465
Your Verizon Online user name
Your Verizon Online password
Make sure "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)" is checked.
Remote access settings (Dial-up)
Domain: verizon.net
Network protocol used: TCP/IP
Note: Remote Access is available only if you subscribe to dial-up roaming with your Verizon High Speed Internet service.

How do I change my security question email address?...
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, it has been reported that the email can take a while to arrive. Use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support. -
Is multi-factor auth required for self-service password reset and portal registration?
Hi, hoping someone can give some clarity on this. I'm dealing with strictly online accounts, no AD sync to local servers. I have enabled and configured self-service password reset in AzureAD. In that config I have required users to register
their alt contact info when logging into the portal. While testing this, I don't get prompted to register unless I've enabled multi-factor auth for the test user account. I need users to register in case they need to use SSPR, but I don't want
to force them into MFA. I've gone over the following article and it says nothing about requiring MFA for SSPR or forced portal registration to work.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn683881.aspx
I know there is a separate link for the registration portal that will guide users through the process, but that's a separate link. Maybe they'll set it up, maybe they won't. I'd like for the first sign-on to be a smooth process that gets them
set up for SSPR if needed. Can someone clarify and point me in the right direction? Thanks.Hey acook15,
I work on the password reset engineering team. Right now, you are correct, you cannot enforce registration for password reset during first sign in. This is a feature that we are working on right now, which will be available very soon for sign
ins to Azure, your connected apps, and the access panel, and will come a bit later for Office 365 sign ins, as well.
In the interim, you can configure SSPR to require users to register when they access the access panel at myapps.microsoft.com by following the instructions here: http://aka.ms/customizesspr (search for "Require users to register when signing in to the
access panel?").
You can also read more about other ways to get SSPR data in the system for your users here: http://aka.ms/ssprbestpractices. Let me know if this helps, and if you need to get in contact with me, feel free to email me at [email protected]
Regards,
Adam.

Short of changing a site's main email contact, how can I reset a user's Email Account password, and have the 'forgot password' message sent to an external email address?
When you're creating accounts you can supply the password recovery email for this situation. If you haven't entered that email and you're stuck please reach out to support and they will help you.
Cheers,
